Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 6:06 pm Hi guys. What's your impression of this IH Cent? I know it's beat up but do you think it's genuine? Weights 3 grams. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 6:11 pm I suspect it is fake, due to the difference in details between 12 and 6 oclock on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 6:18 pm It has the correct Shallow N reverse, but even if genuine (which I doubt) it shows severe environmental damage and scrubbing. I wouldn't give this coin a second look. Report this Post to the Staff
Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 6:21 pm Begs the question, why in the world would anyone produce such a cruddy fake? I mean, if you're going to go there, go there! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 6:41 pm This would be a much easier fake to create than one showing realistic circulation and convincing color. If you could sell it for, say, a hundred bucks over and over you'd make a pretty penny, so to speak. Report this Post to the Staff
Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 6:59 pm That makes sense. Volume. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2951 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 7:34 pm I lean more towards genuine but obvious details. There is too much glare to my eyes to properly assess. Report this Post to the Staff
